This page lists spell checker dictionaries, hyphenation files, and thesauri for OpenOffice.org 2.x.

Documentation caution.png IMPORTANT NOTE: From OpenOffice.org 3.0 on the dictionary wizard is no longer available -- All new dictionaries are now available via the Extensions Repository.

See Extension Dictionaries for how to create dictionary extensions. As an end-user this page is now only useful for those using OpenOffice.org < 3.0, though it still has a role for aiding Linux distribution packagers in collecting what un-bundled linguistic extensions are available.

To install a new dictionary in Vanilla OpenOffice.org 2.x, call "File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries" in OpenOffice.org. Then exit and re-start OpenOffice.org, including the Quickstarter (if used). Most of the files on this page are available for installation via the wizard. If not, download the Pack file, and use the "off-line language installation" option of DicOOo wizard.

One user notes: If you have the "wrong" dictionary installed and spell check and other features cannot be supported, you will not receive any warning or notification. At best you can type some gibberish and see if it is underlined, if auto-correct is enabled. Download dictionaries (from the new extensions mechanisms detailed below, not the Web site listed in the help), and change settings in the various dialogues (sorry, not sure which one, there are several language related dialogues) until things work again. However, this didn't work for me but if you have the settings of the majority (eg US English) maybe you won't have to bother.

OpenOffice.org dictionaries in Fedora. In Fedora to install OpenOffice.org, you can use the "Add/Remove Software" application, or you can do this from the command line with e.g. "yum install openoffice.org-writer". Additional language support can then be installed using something like "yum install openoffice.org-langpack-fr" to install French language support which will automatically include spell-checking support where available. A list of currently installed and available language packs can be seen using "yum list openoffice.org-langpack*". Additional dictionaries can also be installed separately using yum, e.g. yum install hunspell-fr.

OpenOffice.org dictionaries wizard in Ubuntu.

If the window is too small when using the File>Wizards>Install new dictionaries then make sure visual effects (compiz) are disabled (that is: change from "Extra" or "Normal" to "None" in Ubuntu System | Settings | Appearance | Visual Effect tab). In order to use this wizard in Ubuntu (tested on Kubuntu 7.10) you need to have the package openoffice.org installed in addition to standard installation of open-office.org-writer and open-office.org-calc. You can do this by typing sudo apt-get install openoffice.org

Adding Resources

Please use the extensions repository -- the resources listed on this page refer to ftp.services.openoffice.org, which will not be maintained anymore.

To install a dictionary, execute the following command as root:

emerge myspell-<lang>

Start OpenOffice. Open Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages. From the drop-down menu under "Default languages for documents" select a language whose dictionary you've installed.--Dnt2wiki 19:33, 30 September 2008 (CEST)

Toate extensiile cuprind un corector ortografic, un dicționar de sinonime, și un dicționar de despărțire în silabe. În cazul în care se dorește compatibilitatea cu utilizatorii care folosesc platforme cu suport incomplet pentru limba română (precum Windows XP), se recomandă folosirea dicționarelor împreună cu extensia Diacritice românești. Această extensie permite introducerea caracterelor diacritice românești și conversia textului dintr-un format de caractere în altul. Suport pentru autocorectare este de asemenea disponibil.
